    @tanza WOW! So you know who she is?? I wish I could get a hold of her to tell her about Dorie passing. Maybe I can find her address & find her. Thanks for that info Tanza, I appreciate it! Nancy

    the pedigree states that the mother and the father of the puppies are actually brother and sister. That's not good, right? Consanguinity can lead to diseases more frequently?

    @fjd89 Whoooh! I don't think that's a good thing all. Tanza or eeeefarm or DebraDownSouth could tell you for sure. But IMO ~ that's bad bad bad!!!

    sorry guys, they actually have just the same father.

    These are the dogs:
    female: Backy LO1326310 ( father: LO138514 - JASIRI-SUKARI BUCKING THE TRIND, mother LO1129801 ARLETTE)

    male: WILD THINGS HAKUNA MATATA FRODO LO1642346 ( father: LO138514 - JASIRI-SUKARI BUCKING THE TRIND, mother LO12166021 - DOLLI AMBER SUN)

    the pedigree also states that Dolli Amber and Jasiri Bukari has been "italian and international champion of beauty" and Arlette has been "italian champions of beauty"

    I spoke ith the previous owner and he said they have no diseases. He said also that the fact they share the same father shouldn't be a problem.
    The pedigree info can be found also on the italian site http://www.enci.it/ that is the official national institution of cinofilia.

    @fjd89 - There has been health testing on both Jasiri Sukari Bucking The Trend, Arlette, and Dolly of Amber Sunrise. They are all clear for Fanconi and the two bitches are PRA clear. We did not have the DNA test for PRA when Jasiri Sukari Bucking The Trend was in the US. I am very familiar with Bucking the Trend and have know him for many years when he was showing in the US. Also very familiar with his breeder, Julie and Kathy Jones. Not really a bad thing that the have the same sire.... the bitches are total out cross. All depends on what is trying to be accomplished in a breeding program. I would say that you are OK with getting a puppy. But that is just my opinion.

    @tanza thank you so much for your answer. Sorry if I didn't use the right terminology by the way. I'll keep you updated on what are we gonna do with these puppies. However, if we do take one, should we do the DNA testing anyway? What about the hips displasia? Is there a test for it too?

    @fjd89 I would ask Tanza since she's got great knowledge of them! What would we do if it weren't for the other ladies in here that really know all of that stuff?? Not being a smart-alec, I mean it when I say they really know what they're talking about!!

    @fjd89 Always good to do health testing.... Don't know about how hip testing is done overseas. You would need to check with your local Vets.

    GenJMar- My 96 year old g'mother said you should send this to the Democratic headquarters. She's seen a lot in her years, but this is still on her mind. :-)

    Hi Vickayx, First let me say Dolce looks adorable. Her white face only makes her look distinguishd. As far as I can determine the only thing mentioned in Basenji Standards is that white should not predominate for her overall appearance and from what you have written you really dont seem to be planning on showing anyway. Years ago I bred Rodesians to show but as I got older I decided that what I wanted most was a little snuggle bug and went to rescue B's. spacicfically those who had had a hard life before me. We now have 2 four legged children who are always rooing to show how happy they are. Enjoy your new baby and remember to try and not let her know she is smarted.

    I'm afraid If I do decide to get another I won't have a chance to introduce them beforehand as it Will probably be a puppy I bring from the US.. I doubt there will be a problem since she will be a young puppy…

    My Basenjis catch and kill wasps and have never got stung in doing so - their snap and release is too quick for them to get stung. However one did get stung on his foot when he trod on a dying bee. Often Basenjis get frightened of a particular thing when they sense their owner's fear. Are you afraid of wasps, Shelley?

    BBOB-whew! So glad that you've done some homework with them. We've had too many abandoned B's lately that I can't bear it anymore. Like Andrea it depends on what they've gotten themselves into during the day like pretty flowers, grass or flowering trees…then I'm in trouble. :)
